Comparative statistical analysis on two types of acetylsalicylic acid tablets

A statistical analysis was performed on two data sets, obtained by weighing 100 tablets each of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and of calcium carbonate buffered acetylsalicylic acid. The frequency distribution histograms, the Gaussian distribution function and the tridimensional diagram of the Gaussian function and standard normal distribution were represented. The results showed that the weight of the buffered aspirin tablets varied in a larger range than the weights of the aspirin tablets. The novelty of the article consists in the transposition of the statistical processing of the results obtained by the measurement of the weight of acetylsalicylic acid tablets into computer programs specifically designed for this purpose.
